TARGETED NUCLEIC ACID DETECTION AND DELIVERY
presented by 

 

July 23-24, 2018
Morris Inn, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN, US

A focus on precision and personalized medicine over the past decade has necessitated better methods and tools for targeted sensing and delivery of nucleic acids. Achieving this requires a multidisciplinary effort across physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine. Join leading international researchers at the AIP Publishing Horizon’s conference to share the latest fundamental and applied advances. Jointly organized and sponsored by Biomicrofluidics, APL Bioengineering, and Biointerphases, this forum will promote the cross-pollination of novel ideas that will catalyze future work in this area.

Conference Themes

 

  • Liquid biopsy
    (e.g., detection of circulating tumor DNA, microRNA and
    tumor-derived exosomes)

    •  

  • Biophotonics
    (e.g., molecular spectroscopy and imaging)

    •  

  • Electrochemical and electrical impedance sensing methods

    •  

  • Solution – and cell-based approaches for high throughput screening

    •  

  • Biochips for point-of-care diagnostics

 
 

  • Microfluidic and nanofluidic technology
    (e.g., droplet PCR, organ-on-a-chip)

    •  

  • Gene delivery and therapeutics

    •  

  • Gene editing and cell-based therapies
    (e.g., CAR-T)

    •  

  • Novel methods and materials for controlled release or enhancing transfection

    •  

  • Material-biology interfaces and interactions
